On the north side of the outer perimeter of the Yunmeng Mountain Range, Chaowu City

Between the two green mountains, a clear stream flows, and the sun shines on the water, reflecting patches of light and shadow.

A shirtless teenager sat on a large bluestone beside the stream, casually throwing small stones into the water.

His face was delicate, but there was a deep sadness between his eyebrows.

His back was covered in scars from claw wounds, which were shocking to his young body.

He stopped throwing the stone with his right hand and scratched his back, as if the wound that had already been scarred was itching again.

"Lin Cheng, your kid is really here." A disdainful voice suddenly sounded not far behind him.

The young man sighed, and threw all the stones in his hand into the water, and the water surface, which was originally only slightly rippling, suddenly became chaotic.

Stood up and jumped off the bluestone, picked up the clothes on the ground and shook them casually, and said to himself as he wore them: "Lin Nan, tomorrow you will take the entrance test of the Lingshan Academy, you might as well practice hard if you have this kung fu."

The young man's name is Lin Cheng, the heir of the Lin family in Chaowu City, his father did not know where to go as soon as he was born, and he and his mother depended on each other.

"When is it your turn to teach me a lesson, you piece of shit?" Lin Nan said with a sneer, and several Lin clansmen behind him also echoed.

Lin Cheng frowned and looked at the few people, his fists clenched subconsciously.

"Beat him up so he won't pass the test tomorrow." Lin Nan waved his hand, and the vassals behind him rushed out directly.

Lin Cheng could resist a few times at first, but he couldn't stand the opponent's numerical advantage, and he was quickly defeated.

Lin Nan stepped on Lin Cheng's head with his foot and said viciously: "You kid will accept your fate in this life, I won't kill you, I will let you be a dog forever, a dog of my Lin Nan."

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and half of his face was trampled into the dirt.

"I will definitely kill you, I will..." Lin Cheng shouted fiercely, his words fell into the ears of Lin Nan and the others, just like a joke.

"Do you think you're still the same person you used to be? You are a waste now, trampled under my feet like a dead dog, and now and in the future, you will never turn over."

After humiliating Lin Cheng, Lin Nan led people swaggering away, leaving Lin Cheng lying on the ground with murderous intent.

He was originally extremely talented, and when he was 5 years old, he opened the Qi Sea and entered the Qi Refining Realm, which was extremely rare in the entire Chaowu City.

But God played a big joke on him.

When Lin Cheng was 10 years old, Lin Cheng went out to play with Chu Yue'er, the daughter of the city lord Chu Feng.

The two mischievous little ones shook off the accompanying guards and ran into the mountains, only to accidentally provoke a devilish badger that was eating.

In order to protect the little daughter of the Chu family, he desperately competed with the Demon Badger, but only Lin Cheng, who was the eightfold in the Qi Refining Period, was the opponent of the Demon Badger at the peak of the Qi Refining Period, and was injured by the Demon Badger in a moment.

In order for Chu Yue'er not to be hurt by the demon badger, he used his ten-year-old body to protect Lin Tianrong under him.

His back was blurred by the devil's flesh and blood, and when the guards arrived to kill the devil, Lin Cheng had already lost too much blood and was unconscious, and the demon poison on the devil's claws had already invaded Lin Cheng's eight meridians, and he couldn't live.

Lin Cheng's mother went to pick up her son after she found out, looked at her son who was bandaged like a mummy, and faced Chu Feng with an apologetic face, Lin Cheng's mother didn't say a word.

Since then, although Lin Cheng's strength has healed, the demonic qi that entered his body has eroded his qi sea, and the original eightfold cultivation of the Qi Refining Period has fallen in a straight line, until the Qi Refining Period is threefold.

Because of his withering and his father's disappearance, Lin Cheng and his mother were often ostracized within the clan, not only were their cultivation resources plundered by other clansmen, but even their lives were difficult to maintain.

In desperation, they had no choice but to move out of the Lin family and build a courtyard deep in the bamboo forest outside the west of the city.

In the past two years, many disciples of the Lin family who originally looked up to Lin Cheng have all become devils, and they have bullied him and humiliated him unscrupulously, as if trampling the former genius under their feet is one for them

It's a very painful thing.

Back at the wooden house, Lin Cheng took a deep breath and walked in.

"Went to the river to practice again? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." A beautiful woman rubbed her hands and whispered softly.

"Oh, it's so ......" Lin Cheng nodded, washed his hands honestly and sat down at the dining table.

"The Lin family boys are bullying you again?" The beautiful woman pulled the wound on her son's face and asked softly.

"I'm sure they'll double it back later." When Lin Cheng heard this, his face turned red and said.

"I believe in you, my son is a genius, and no matter what he goes through, he can't wipe out the light in you."

Lin Cheng nodded aggrievedly, after all, he was only a teenager, and he was bullied outside, and he also wanted to be comforted by his family.

"Okay, son, you have to be strong, you can't let those who bully us look down on us, we have to take the assessment tomorrow, you have to work hard."

"Yes...... But my realm ......" Lin Cheng lowered his head, he didn't admit defeat in his heart, but the reality was here.

No matter how much effort he puts in than ordinary people, it is useless, and if he can't cultivate, he is a wasted person.

"Son, you have to believe in yourself, you can do it, but you are not on the right path."

Lin Cheng looked at his mother, his expression gradually became firm, the demonic qi in his body, I will definitely conquer you, I will.

"Okay, let's rest early after eating, and I'll definitely pass the exam tomorrow." The beautiful woman stood up and said.

"Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely be selected tomorrow." Lin Cheng nodded firmly, his eyes full of confidence.

After lunch, Lin Cheng returned to his room, his smile was gone, and sadness and sadness crept up his cheeks again.

Lin Cheng knew very well in his heart that he was most likely useless, if he hadn't been a hero to protect Rong'er two years ago, with the efforts of the past two years, he might have reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

Of course, this is just thinking about it, it is impossible for him to let Yue'er be hurt and ignore it.

Lin Cheng took off his shirt and put it aside, sat cross-legged on the bed, looked down at the seal on his chest, and smiled bitterly.

"My mother said that this seal is to seal the demonic energy that the devil has invaded my body, so that I can continue to cultivate the aura and not be demonized."

"But the demonic qi at the peak of this Qi Refining Period is too domineering, my original eightfold strength, after two years, not only did not improve, but fell to the triple level, tomorrow Lingshan Academy entrance test I don't know if I can pass."

Lin Cheng adjusted his state and slowly closed his eyes.

The so-called Qi refining period is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, strengthen oneself, and lead the aura of heaven and earth into the meridians.

Use the aura to guide the circulation and exchange of blood in the surrounding weather, and through the circulation of the heavens, the spirit and qi are closely combined, and they improve themselves from the inside out.

When the aura is absorbed enough to a certain realm, the foundation will be built.

Lin Cheng could feel that the speed at which he absorbed the aura of heaven and earth was even faster than two years ago.

However, whenever the spiritual energy is guided through the chest, it will be hindered, and the spiritual energy will overflow and disperse, so his realm has not been able to rise, because he has not been able to smoothly guide the spiritual energy to cultivate in Zhou Tian.

"Hold on, I don't believe I can't conquer you." Lin Cheng said with a hideous face, absorbing the aura again.
